Walking the High Line

After ten years in the making, the High Line park is finally open. The park, which is a renewal of an elevated train yard originally built during the 1930s, runs from Gansevoort Street to 20th Street and will eventually extend to 34th Street. I was really impressed with the landscaping...benches, shade trees, wildflowers, an art installation, and a viewing window over 10th Ave., which makes it seem as though you're floating over all the passing taxis. I only wished I lived closer; I could come here every day! I can't wait to see how it will change with the seasons.
